Adrian Gonzalez had gone 26 games and 96 at-bats since his last homer when he came to the plate in the first against Greg Maddux with Brian Giles on second (with a double). Adrian ended the drought with a drive into the left-field stands.

KEY FACTOR

Maddux failed in his bid to move past Roger Clemens into eighth on the all-time win list. In four starts with the Dodgers, Maddux is 1-3 with a 5.96 ERA. With the Padres, he was 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA.

PLAYERS OF THE GAME

Offense: Brian Giles was 2-for-3 with a walk and a double and scored two of the Padres' four runs.

Pitching: Cha Seung Baek claims his first win at Petco Park, where he was 0-7 with a 5.94 ERA, with seven innings of three-hit shutout ball. But over his past three home starts, Baek has a 1.45 ERA.

Defense: Chase Headley made a diving catch running toward the left field line to rob Mark Sweeney of a hit in the eighth.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE

Chris Young figures the layout of Miller Park in Milwaukee may have helped his perfect game bid Sunday in Milwaukee.

Catcher Nick Hundley and first baseman Gonzalez both caught foul pop flies in areas that were probably out of play at Petco Park.

“I've heard we have the smallest foul territory in the major leagues,” Young said. “I think there's at least one ball a night that lands in the stands here that would be an out in another park.”

Young's idea – Move the playing field out five feet, which would shorten the distance to the fences while increasing the foul territory.

Only problem – The corner of the Western Metal Supply Co. building is the left-field foul line.

WHO'S HOT

Will Venable: Has his fifth two-hit game in a span of six starts to raise his average to .353.

WHO'S NOT

Manny Ramirez: Enters the game hitting .410 as a Dodger, goes 0-for-4 and strikes out twice with a runner in scoring position.

Chase Headley: Strikes out in all four at-bats and has struck out at least once in seven straight games with 80 strikeouts in 265 at-bats.
